The case against former Corfu Town Justice Robert Alexander is all but over.

Alexander had been charged with official misconduct in connection with 10-thosuand dollars of missing village court funds.

Genesee County Court Judge Robert Noonan has ruled that all charges against Alexander will be dismissed if Alexander stays out of trouble for the next six months.

Alexander was forced to resign as village justice, a position he held for more than 25 years.

Special prosecutor David O’Geen says that was punishment enough

"I think that was the biggest punishment one could give Judge Alexander because he had been judge for so long the fact of res ignation signals that he had done something wrong. I think it also tarnishes his reputation."

Alexander’s daughter, Brandi Watts, the former village court clerk, pleaded guilty for falsifying documents. She also paid $10,000 in restitution.

Outside the courtroom, Alexander seemed relived:

"I just thank God that this case has ended the way it has. I think its a fair disposition."

Alexander has also been bared from ever seeing judicial office again.
